Materials Development for TESOL (Paperback)

Paperback. Teaching English as a Second or Other Language (TESOL) is a multifaceted academic discipline requiring training in linguistics, language acquisition, language pedagogy, methodology, materials development, testing and research, curriculum and syllabus design, programme administration and cross-cultural communication. This series of advanced textbooks in TESOL comprises individual volumes addressing an identifiable subfield within TESOL in more depth than would be covered in an introductory textbook to the area as a whole. Each volume is designed for use alongside taught module-length topics on TESOL degrees. As a whole, the series provides a comprehensive introduction to the subject. Offering a practical introduction to the fundamental principles of materials development in TESOL, this textbook introduces you to a wide range of theoretical and practical issues in materials development to enable you to make informed and principled choices in the selection, evaluation, adaptation and production of materials.
